Rio Ferdinand has paid tribute to David de Gea after his departure from Manchester United was confirmed.

The goalkeeper leaves after 12 years with the club.

"Whether you think David De Gea is good enough or not, that's up for debate," Ferdinand said. "But he has been an unreal servant to this football club.

"12 years he's had at the club, similar to the amount of time I was at the club. Player of the Year I think four or five times in that time. Been phenomenal at times, the best player at the club in a few of those years.

"Had moments where it didn't go well, lost a bit of form and confidence at times but in the main has served the club remarkably well. Never been in trouble, never brought the club into disrepute, outstanding professional, great character, one of the boys."
